Classes

Beginning and Intermediate Chinese for Business Professionals (8 credits each) , taught in a traditional classroom using a combination of traditional and online media. The course text is Encounters: Chinese Language and Culture by Cynthia Ning ??? et al.

I have assisted other instructors
in LLL to develop interactive television-based courses in Chinese, Hawaiian,
and Filipino (Tagalog). I have also provided support for the development
of Web-based courses for our college in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Thai, Khmer (Cambodian), Filipino (Tagalog), Ilokano,
and Indonesian.

Conversational Mandarin Chinese (3 credits each),
taught via an array of distributed media, namely: independent study materials
such as books and CD-ROMs; the World Wide Web; and live, local tutoring
in each location where the course is offered. More details of the model
are described in "Distance Education to Distributed Learning: Multiple
Formats and Technologies in Language Instruction" in CALICO
Journal (22) 1, p. 63-82, September, 2004. The course text is Communicating
in Chinese by Cynthia Ning.

These Web-based courses,
available both to Manoa students and to Outreach College extension students,
strengthen reading and writing skills at the Intermediate-High to Advanced
level. For more information, visit the link above.
